Sad about his father, but glad nothing happened to him. Maybe you should get an alternate number for him, just in case.

I have had the same lawn guy for about 5 seasons. He does good job and gives me discount because I have grass cut 1x week. He knows it is weekend house so lawn always cut by sat. He does not send out bills, about every 4 to 6 cuts he calls me with number of cuts and amount. I always mail out his check with in a week. This weekend I was surprised how high the grass was, not sure last time it was cut. I keep a eye on weather in area, all week dry. Should I call him today and find out what happen or wait till he calls me a few weeks away?
If he has always been good in the past perhaps life got in his way. Call to see if there's a problem.

I once hired a Mexican licensed carpet layer to install carpeting in a house that I was building. He had a small store front in a group of businesses. He delivered the carpeting and started to install it in the living room late in the day. He didn't show up the next morning , so I called his mobile phone ... no answer and his answering machine was full or not working. Same the next day. So I whent to his store and it was locked and dark insidel. I whent next doors to see where he was and noone knew. A week later, I found out that he was an illegal alien and was deported.
